Strengths: He is one of more interesting swingman in his age range in Europe, possibly the best international shooting guard in his age group ... He is mature and has a great personality, so is already a good player in clutch times at high level ... He is very aggressive and can attack the rim with his excellent one on one moves: ball handling , body control and nice touch ... He is an efficient spot-up shooter because he has quick mechanics, although unorthodox ... He is a smart player and very effective off the ball in the half court ... He has very quick and huge hands that make him one of the best ball hawks in Italian League ... Moreover, he has a notable propensity for the rebound ...

Weaknesses: Nihad lacks a role: his body is perfect for Europe where he can play like a small forward, but in the NBA there are major questions about what role he can serve ... He is able to out-class many Europeans athletically but won't realize the same success as an average or below average athlete in the NBA ... He can struggle at times with more skilled/athletic guards ... His three point shot is not consistent ... He must improve his defense on the ball (seems he doesn’t like to play defense, focusing solely on gambling for steals and breaking out for easy baskets in transition) ... Still needs to add maturity and discipline to his game ...

Notes: You will find his surname spelled Dedovic and Djedovic; Nihad has a younger brother Nedim Djedovic who is considered the best young player in Spain (he plays in Barcelona) in his age group (he was born in 1997).
